D'Andre Swift vs Rhamondre Stevenson: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between D'Andre Swift and Rhamondre Stevenson is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Chicago Bears running back put up 13.2 PPG in 2025 over 16 games; Rhamondre Stevenson of the New England Patriots averaged 11.6 in 14. A 1.6-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 1.6 points favors D'Andre Swift, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. D'Andre Swift ran for 1087 yards and 9 touchdowns; Rhamondre Stevenson posted 603 and 7. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
One scheduling note: D'Andre Swift is off Week 7 and Rhamondre Stevenson Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
